I got "the compliment" today.

i was on 19 on my CB one day driving up 5 and i heard the semi drivers say 'what the hell is that thing?' and I went on and said 'yall talkin about my truck?' and one of the drivers said 'yea it looks like an insect' haha

 

Next time someone says something about the tacoma, ask them "Are you talking shit about my truck?". most people dont reply back at all.

 

yesterday while approaching a stop sign a guy in a body lifted tundra on black rims pulls into my lane like he's playin chicken and just looks out his window and I think he was inferring "Nice tacoma" but i laid on the train horns cuz i was like wtf.. he went back into his lane... but seriously who does that.

a nice little thumbs up or nod would've granted the same satisfaction. idiots.

Nice body lift.

 

hahahahahahahahahaha i love listeing to truck drivers! so how the hell do they get insect out of a sick lt 2nd gen????

 

Definitely a strange thing to compare it to. I've always thought the extra long LCA's looked a bit like arms. And I guess I could see the light bar looking like eyes. But still strange.

 

i like it but maybe it was night time!? lights would stick out like a sore thumb... but still truck drivers crack me up. they always seem to be talking about hookers!

 

A simple yes/no question comes along and that's how you reply? Wow.

Exactly.

 

Could be. I make no bones about the fact that my rig is a "daily-driver that also goes on trails." It's not supposed to be a "hard-core but street-legal krawler." I'd never call it a "rock crawler" because I know the difference, but I'm not gonna quibble about the semantic distinction with someone unless they're really interested and we get into a long discussion.

Just remember, the tides of popular opinion can turn in an instant, in response to things like that sad monster-truck-runover of a woman outside a club last week. When the mobs with pitchforks form, we want as many folks as possible on our side remembering "the cool dude who talked to me about his truck" not "that *ss*ole with the lifted truck at the ATM"

 

thats funny you say that. got off work the other day (thursday) and had an older dude compliment me on how my truck looked. he said his son was looking to a tacoma. i told him about TW, shook hands went home had a few cocktails.

 

You should've asked him to come out with you sometime and watch!

 

i love stupid people lol ive gotten "the comment" a few tims i just tell em my wife could out wheel you in her honda spree go be stupid some place else lol

 

If someone snidely asks me if I go off road worth my TRD OR Packaged Taco...I will say "not a chance" (and I wouldn't be lying either LOL) ....Nothing much for them to comment on after that. I may ask for directions to the nearest Mall if I 'm feeling really chipper.
Or I will say "Does it LOOK like I take it off road?" Either way I don;t think people should be insulted if someone asks. Just tell them the truth and move on with life.,

 

Know whatcha mean man. Just because mine looks like this most of the time:



Does mean it doesn't look like this enough of the time:




I just invite people to go wheeling when the shit talk starts.

x2. I don't think anyone is claiming superiority here. But when people say "I betcha baby it don't you?" because it looks brand-new inside between wheeling trips, I just give them the straight answer: No, I kick its ass. I just clean it afterward.

 

i get people commenting my truck when im on the trail. they ask me what the hell are you doing out here with that nice truck

 

i'm curious to see what your truck looks like now

 

OP: truck looks pretty stock in that pic.. surprised anyone called it a rock crawler..

 

Yeah, that pic is a better perspective of the trail than the truck.

When you see it in person it's clearly not stock. But yeah -as I mentioned above, a "rock crawler" it isn't, and I'm just fine with that.

Here's my own most recent shot that shows the whole truck, taken right after I put on the bushwaker fender flares:

 

....I know EXACTLY what he says..."What up 'BRO' ".......I say just have some pics of your truck on two wheels as you're wheelin.

 

guy had his head up. Didn't even notice it was an IFS truck. "rock crawler" ha.
